[armbarred]

I'll be there. If I can get everything painted I'll be bringing Psi Corps... otherwise I'll be bringing the ISA in force.

 

[Gray Dagon]

I'll be there too. Also will be bringing two others I play with. Really looking forward it.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Sign up hasn't opened up yet. I will be sure to make a post here and let you know when it does.

 

[Kosh127]

ooo I see. Me and 2 or three other guys are going to go. I am really looking forward to it!! And for the people that complain about comp scoreing. tThey are all about the W. ITs about meeting new people and having fun. If the only way you can have fun is to stomp people go play 40K.

 

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I am really looking forward to meeting some of you all, win or lose.

You know what galls me about the list of events?
Not only does there seem to be an actual Strawberry Shortcake RPG [shudder]
[shudder again]
[shudder more]
...But it's higher on the list than the ACTA events...

They are listed in the order submitted and I wouldn't be surprised if that SS game isn't what it appears.

Sounds like Cthulhu to me
You are eating some strawberry shortcake. You see... TENTACLES!!!

 

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I know the girl running it and she can make it interesting I'm sure.

 

[Taran]

The only thing I remember from the endless barrage of Strawberry Shortcake that my older sisters forced upon me as a little kid is a handful of lines from an old LP:

"A Tisket, a Tasket,
My Green and Yellow Basket!
I lost it!
I lost it!
Oh where could I have Tossed it?!"

I go into convulsions every time my sisters or brother quote it again...

Bry,

I really don't like the placing of composition points into your overall score, just like I hate having sportsmanship points in overall placement. They are both arbitory and are most subjective. My preference is to have sportsmanship and composition awards that are separate from the admiralship award. IMO sportsmanship and composition scores are the most abused form of retaliation in tournament play. A player could sit there like a lump and say nothing except for good game at the end and get a 2 for sportsmanship because he wasn't talkative enough, or someone could think he was cold, or apathetic to the game. While the Judges can overturn this, it's hard to prove that the score is incorrect.

If you want to give an award for the best painted fleet, or the best "fluff" in the fleet, go ahead, but you shouldn't punish a player who is a good admiral, but a lousy painter.

Just my 2 cents.


Dave

I concur. Get an award for having a bitchen fleet or for being a gentlemanly player. Let the skill and dice determine who wins the combats!

 

[B_Steele]

The pack has officially been updated!

So now, when you click the link at the beginning of this thread...print it out, its the real deal!
